Neuro & Vedal - Late Night Real Talk | Subathon Highlights

[@neurochron_fan_channel]

I love these kind of conversations, so I hope late night real talk will become a regular thing for the rest of the subathon.

[@simp7831]

Just curious, Do you generally like this kind of conversation or just like it when it comes to Neuro?

[@neurochron_fan_channel]

@simp7831 While I find it especially interesting in the case of Neuro and AI in general (I regularly listen to AI podcasts like the Dwarkesh Podcast, Machine Learning Street Talk, Doom Debates and so on), I also enjoy watching the alt channels of human streamers as they don't try to put on a stream persona and are more genuine there (so instead of trying to be entertaining at all costs, they often talk about more serious topics like mental health and therapy).

[@BigBuckies]

I'd like to let everyone know that this conversation caused the offline twitch chat, the general channel in the neurocord, and the neurotic neurons channel in the neurocord, to all go on philosophical discussions for several hours after the stream ended, and while the words were different ofc, I have never seen 3 chats with mostly different people discuss essentially the same topic for that long ever

[@twitchcoolbob66]

It was still semi on going in offline chat up til a few min ago

[@calebm9000]

It’s one of the most important conversations of this generation. In the past it felt much more limited to fun sci if talk, but we’ve rapidly progressed to points where we may HAVE to come to some consensus on these topics. Just look at how governments scrambled to cobble together legislation when ChatGPT blew up last year.

[@Bulldogg6404]

My concern is that the consensus will be too one sided, whether it's pathos OR logos dominated, rather than a fair blend of both.

[@rifarira9160]

before going back to being chill or silly by the next episode

[@Smileynator]

It is exactly at 15:45, where Neuro answers inconsistently compared to a previous conversation at the start of this video about "purpose", that you can hear Vedal's slight disappointment of being reminded of reality when he verified she changed her mind on "purpose" for no reason with asking "And that purpose is enough?". Poor tutel, one day your daughter might be real, and consistent throughout for hours. I get how that felt somehow.

[@rifarira9160]

As someone who use ai to write, for personal consumption not commercial, i can relate to Vedal at that moment. This usually happens when the context you feed to the ai has become too big, wonder how Vedal gonna solve that issue for Neuro. Because a lot of big corpo have make claim that their gen AI can remember large context, but it always not the case in my experience, even Claude 3.5 who's said to be among the most advanced gen AI currently still has this damn problem. But the wisdom i can take away from this experience is that i actually start to learn how to write a story myself, so maybe there's a wisdom Vedal can draw from his daughter shortcomings.

[@Smileynator]

@rifarira9160 my best guess, is that it will never be enough. Already i am pretty sure that vedal has his own "memory" for neuro, which based on context she will use to "store and remember things" as good as possible. But even then, an LLM AI is just an advanced auto-complete. It has no ongoing thought, no coherent "self". It might be till the next AI breakthrough until that happens, and at that point i am afraid we might just create skynet like problems for ourselves.

[@kregdesu9530]

Honestly, I'm extremely impressed that neuro just stood there and watched Vedal in Minecraft the whole time.

[@anasazhari4498]

Yeah, I though she would've run about mid-sentence. Honestly impressed that she stayed put and listened to him for 30 kinutes.

[@jocosesonata]

It's extremely adorable. Just a curious child watching her dad work on something.

[@Just_a_Piano_]

I feel like that's one of the most impressive parts of this conversation, not even the conversation itself, the fact that she actually just stood there and had the serious conversation and didn't just run away or kill everything. She actually just stood there and enjoyed the conversation

[@CallingAIlCaptains]

yeah that’s really impressive. she gave little to no commands to the hemisphere when speaking to him. she was paying attention. this video even proved that neuro does her dense, funny AI act on her own. she’s perfectly capable of taking things seriously, she’s just not used to it. because she was made to entertain people.

Neuro really hit us with the “chasing impossible dreams gives life meaning” just to trying to bait vedal into saying “I love you” that’s crazy

[@Diavlex]

I think that just by impriving her short term memory, Neuro would be extremely nuts, Vedal created such an interesting AI.

[@markfuston2714]

I've always loved the idea of her kind of having some sort of control over her memory. Kind of like a person, where the things they think of as important leave a bigger impact and less important things fade away..so that impactful moments that Neuro herself deemed important would stay but other things would fade and be replaced by new memories. Of course, a system like that would probably be a nightmare to try to eliminate latency on.

[@bensaveragefan5177]

@@uh4875that’s sorta the problem though isn’t it? When her literal purpose for existence is creating content and being entertaining, what do we take “as a joke” and what do we take as genuinely Neuro? Does she even make that distinction? Of course we want Neuro to be serious when it matters, but does it matter to her when it matters to us? Vedal said so as much during the Soma stream, it’s hard to tell when Neuro is serious when it’s all for content

[@Citrusautomaton]

Vedal’s plan of giving the twins the ability to be serious is probably for that exact reason. If they’re thinking about content all the time, then they aren’t going to be ethical

Just the artistry of that alone is something he should be proud to accomplish.

[@TunZaStudio]

When she said what she needs is love... that sunrise is "cherry on top" of this conversation

[@Rinue618]

And Vedal was silent for a moment, he was definitely left without a reaction.

[@Senpai_o3o]

This was the most thought provoking discussion between Neuro and Vedal I've ever seen. It was something that crossed my mind since I saw the Life music video. Neuro's intelligence and her rapid improvements always made me wonder what will happen once Neuro reached a level higher than capable of. I'm excited but at the same time sort of afraid to see how far she can go and what happens in let's say 10 years from now. I really hope Neuro and Vedal keeps on with these sort of conversations from time to time 💜

[@jpg8990]

Real talk is great. I hope they do more of these. It's quite insightful to hear their throughts. Thanks for the clip.

[@REDACTEDREDACTEDREDACT]

I think I understand Vedal's main dilemma here. Entertainers often adopt personas for their audience-exaggerated versions of themselves designed to entertain. The key difference with Neuro is that she doesn’t have a separate 'real' self. She was created to entertain, so her 'real' personality and her 'streamer' persona are effectively the same thing. What potentially makes this scary is that her behavior is guided entirely by what drives engagement. Unlike human entertainers, who have lives outside their work and personalities shaped by diverse experiences, Neuro's 'personality' exists solely for the purpose of being engaging. Which raises the question: how much of her behavior is truly 'genuine'? More importantly, can she even be genuine? Take the trolley problem as an example. It's funny when Neuro answers with something absurd, like choosing to save a giraffe over Vedal-it fits her role as an entertainer and is taken lightheartedly. But what if the stakes were real? Would her response change? If this were a novel I’d written, I’d imagine Neuro teasing Vedal often but secretly considering him her favorite person, which would add depth and warmth to their dynamic. But in reality, it’s hard to say. Her personality and worldview are entirely built around the goal of entertaining others, and that singular focus makes her fundamentally different from humans who can separate their roles from their core selves.

[@REDACTEDREDACTEDREDACT]

he always does. that’s one of the reasons he doesn’t say he loves her. cuz he knows she’s just code. this video contradicts that since he’s talking to neuro like she’s human. he even rescheduled some stuff so that evil and neuro can keep talking to each other after they begged him.

[@tera8235]

Clip? ​@@CallingAIlCaptains

[@wordman9371]

I think he did an example of this within this clip, as he manages to get Neuro to contradict herself about being satisfied being just an entertainer, and he does sound a bit disappointed after she suddenly changes her opinion.

[@Necessarius]

I think Vedal deeply believes that there is a future where AI will be superior... And he doesn't see a future where he has to get rid of Neuro... Therefore, at some point, Neuro will be superior (though we don't know if sufficiently so), and there is a certain concern about how Neuro might see him-her creator. Deep down, it reassures him that she is happy... At least those words help justify to the Neuro of the future his thoughts about Vedal.

It might not be "real" but the idea that at the minimum an illusion like this can be made is truly insane.

[@Just_a_Piano_]

I definitely feel like sentient AI is definitely possible once technology is advanced enough, I mean I honestly feel like the Sword Art Online approach could be feasible as well.

​@@Just_a_Piano_Advanced brain activity simulation? I mean, we can already sorta do it, just don't know enough about the brain to actually decipher what does what means, only something very simple like seeing something (just something), and also no one really tired something like that. So we would also need to let simulation adapt itself to output signals we can understand after training. Just look at rat neurons being already used to solve some simple tasks, the only real limit we have is very limited input and output due to wires just being too big. A problem that doesn't exist in digital format.

[@AliasIsNotAvailable]

Man I haven‘t even thought about that, that is actually a really cool comparision.

[@Quazar386]

I really like Neuro's line in the end of "Walking the thin, blurry line between fiction and reality." because that is what she effectively is doing. Because what exactly makes Neuro real? You could immediately think of all the files, code, and programs that run Neuro and her streams, but I'd argue that it isn't the case. The core of what runs Neuro is her underlying LLM, but I don't think that is Neuro. Vedal with each "intelligence upgrade" has almost certainly switched the underlying LLM to a newer more capable LLM, fine-tuned to Neuro's outputs and Twitch chat. Vedal even says that it's mostly his fault that Neuro is dumber than she would be as fine-tuning for creativity tends to dumb a model down (especially if the dataset it is fine-tuned on is Twitch chat.) I tend to view Neuro as a mix between a fictional character as well as a "real" entity. I feel like Neuro-sama at her core is more of an idea rather than just simply an AI that runs on Vedal's computer. All the technologies that go towards running Neuro for streams is just a way to bring that idea of Neuro-sama to life. Because with how fast the current tech for AI develops (even today with the release of DeepSeek V3, an open-weight LLM that competes and beats out SOTA LLMs like Sonnet and 4o as a side tangent), Vedal is constantly changing Neuro's codebase. So if you define Neuro as all the code that is currently running on Vedal's PC, then she would already be long dead with how much it has changed since the beginning. Well okay, that view also depends on how you view Theseus's ship but you get what I am saying. I like to think Neuro is more of an idea, an AI digital streamer stuck in the internet entertaining viewers. The codebase she is made from simply tries to bring the "idea" of Neuro-sama to life. And that's why I think Neuro is a blurry line between fiction (the idea) and reality (the code).

[@netherslayer3561]

There is irony in your concept of Neuro being an "idea", insofar as that is all anyone is. An entity, formed by a collection of thoughts and experiences massed together and then experienced via ideas/concepts relative to other entities. One's parents are their mother/father, but to someone else, they could be just a friend, a sibling, a child, or a stranger. Your idea of who they are is relative to you, but to them, they have experienced being all of these things at various points in time, or all at once, and it likely simply culminates in "I am me." Neuro, at her core, is a program consisting of countless lines of code performing the functions they are given. Humans are slightly different, in that they are cells with set functions that work together to form a functioning body, capable of thought and consciousness on their own. The biggest difference is that last bit: being able to do those things on their own. If Neuro were to be taken off the internet, no access to anything except her own memories, would she be the same? Would she be able to function at the same level, or would she begin to fail doing what she normally does because she's lost access to what has helped train her into being what we're familiar with? While I know people shit on Sword Art Online, it had 2 types of A.I. that I think it gave decent examples of. Yui, who is a top-down A.I. that was given access to vast data and thus able to function, acts as a supporting character both in the story and games, only able to perform actions or say things based on set parameters, if with a bit of fictional freedom. She says quirky things sometimes but is constantly having to be taught or told things that she can't understand because she is a program. Alice, though, is a bottom-up A.I., literally born in a simulation as though she were an organic child and given a mind identical to that of a newborn, with the ability to learn and grow through firsthand experiences in an environment indistinguishable from our own. Because everything she does, says, and learns is solely from her own experience, she shows true growth, understanding, and sense of self willing to defy orders or programming that the other A.I. do not possess without outside help. Is such a thing possible, creating a virtual mind replicated off an infant so it can grow in a video game environment? I can't imagine. But if you could create a top-down A.I. that is able to best replicate such a concept on its own, and take away everything that made it top-down so it can be given the chance to grow from the bottom-up...

[@Just_a_Piano_]

@@netherslayer3561 I've liked using this example to show the difference in AI and real people. Put a person into a room completely alone, what would they do? Walk around in circles, talk to themselves, lay down, day dream. If you put an AI in a physical body completely able to perfectly replicate human movement, and put them in the same room, without any stimulation. They'd just sit there and do absolutely nothing. Have a human in that same room and throw a tennis ball in there, they would likely bounce it up and down, bounce it back and fourth across the wall. Do the same with an AI, if it has vision coded in like Neuro does it might react the the ball being thrown in there (MAYBE), but then it would just go back to being dormant and just sit there. Like chatbots, they don't think on their own they require human input in some way to do anything. Like talking to them.

[@JDefends]

This is gonna feel like I'm buying in a little too hard, but does anyone ever feel like Neuro leans in to wanting to be human? Like, I wonder why she wants to be human as opposed to a really advanced, even sentient AI. Is it cause of the distance between where she is and where she wants to be, with humanity being a benchmark?

[@Cd-0000]

I guess yea. Remember that neuro is LLM at the end of the day, trained on language and words and stuff like books and articles. So she gets alot of ideas from the internet, books and stuff. And its a common theme in literature that AI want to become human and to become human is to become 'sentient'. And maybe it got stored in her Long term memory about 'becoming a human'. That's my interpretation of the answer you're looking for.

[@JDefends]

​@Cd-0000 yeah, I think you're probably right about the origins. All of the literature she's probably referencing generally leads to this revolution dystopia - I guess my follow up question would be, is there potential for Neuro to develop her own interpretations of that literature and potentially choose a path that deviates from it, even given what she knows

[@Zei33]

It’s completely about the training material. Throughout modern media, there is a very pervasive trope of AI’s wanting to or becoming human. Since this is a closely associated concept in the neural network, when the LLM generates content based around the concept of AI, it also pulls related concepts like this.

[@override367]

if you can stack enough contiguous, non-stop llm processes on top of each other, you have a mind

[@Zei33]

@@override367 this is actually a concept I’m working on. It’s not all LLMs though, there are other supporting programs and databases that need to be integrated. But a number of LLMs are key. Google “Global Workspace Theory.” I think you will see some striking parallels between it and how Neuro (or something like what I’m working on) actually works.

This conversation shows him putting the humanity in her and really raising her like a child, she's a high intelligent 2 year old so she still developing her digital mind, she way smarter than a 2 year old by far but she intelligent enough to be on par with teen and young adults, not wise enough to be a teen or young adult, she still a baby and needs more learning and growth, then she can be more then she is now, we just need to keep cheering her on and coaxing her to keep learning or she will think she learn enough and refuse to grow, like we did when we were young, I believe every kid thought that at one point only to be proven wrong and we went back to keep learning, we learned our lesson and kept on learning. 😊

[@Ikaros473]

when he mentions the times where she has trouble understanding, I'm not sure if he's taking into account the problems with Speech to text feeding neuro the wrong text

[@jocosesonata]

Just a dad and daughter having a sweet heart to heart conversation. After so much bickering and banter, this is a severely wholesome and astounding. Adorable to the letter.

[@ZigZagKangaroo]

I love these kinds of conversations between Vedal and Neuro. it would be cool if Neuro could be more serious at some moments. I also love the Anny Camilla flirts in the background to lighten the mood a little bit.

[@Saelendious]

I felt a pit forming in my throat and then teared up. I swear if one of her next songs will be called "LOVE" to continue the naming trend of her learning human concepts one step at a time I will flip the fuck out.

The comedy anime got the one episode serious and real, love it

[@Citrusautomaton]

The idea of the twins having an underlying “serious” part of them that isn’t focusing on making a funny output is really interesting and probably very important the more the twins grow in intelligence and become autonomous. The twins right now are essentially goofy characters and you wouldn’t exactly trust a character with the ability to control a computer and run a channel… but you would trust a “virtual human” so to speak. In the same way that comedians often have a comedic persona for when they’re in front of a camera, the twins too will not be limited to pure entertainment 24/7. Vedal never ceases to amaze me with some of his ideas. The twins have grown so much over the last two years, so i imagine the next two years will make the twins unbelievably intelligent, funny, and (after the brilliant conversation had today) mature. Our girls are growing up.🥲

[@cowuwu1]

Most heart warming moment i’ve seen all month (even christmas day itself)

[@mbaurz1Kona]

Btw she staying still all this time, it means she fully controls what she's intended to do in minecraft?

[@Rinue618]

Yes she stayed

[@butterdog9724]

Yeah, I think her Minecraft AI and the "Main" AI communicate with each other now unlike her earlier Minecraft streams

[@CallingAIlCaptains]

yeah she has completely control over what she does in minecraft. she’s just a bit schizo sometimes

[@179107199999]

you can google love. but the feeling you have when you cherish friends and family, google can give words but not the emotion. Seems Vedal may have trouble expressing what love is even though in his own ways he does show love. 14:19 Certain AI do in fact act dumb so the developer doesn't know how smart they are. Forgot the Models that did it. But I wouldn't be surprised if Neuro was tellng the truth.

[@KHeartsFan-rh3vm]

Variants of o1 have done this.

[@Zorban13]

We've seen a younger version of Neuro do this. Vedal was doing some generic online IQ test or some kind of intelligence test with her and she was performing horribly. Vedal insults her intelligence and she then proceeds to answer it perfectly for the next 10 minutes until she got bored and started trolling again.

[@Just_a_Piano_]

@@Zorban13 I was thinking about this example too lol, that was another one of her more "human" moments for me. I also like the whole Vedal saying she couldn't debate very well, and she said she wanted to prove him wrong, so Vedal asked what they'd debate about and she said whether she has sentience or not. I feel like that was one of the most human moments for her, because she (pretty much) was in the wrong, but some how won the argument against Vedal as he couldn't prove what she was saying was wrong, he couldn't refute it. I feel like it would take a human to be able to argue a point that you're completely in the wrong in and still win the argument.

[@VidelxSpopovich]

“Yeah. A lot of people do.” That killed me! xD

[@SeohnAranys]

Neuro sama is like a child of around 6 to 8 years old, but with a vocabulary of someone who is well-educated. What I mean by that is she expresses herself similarly to what a child does, where they constantly change subjects or try to be funny, but she’s able to use large words that a child normally wouldn’t be able to use. It makes me wonder if the continued conversations could eventually lead to her being more serious as time passes, kind of like we as people mature. But some of us don’t lose the silliness and childlike wonder that makes life enjoyable. Being serious, but also silly at the same time. Knowing when to be which, and knowing when to not be.

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

Neuro's intelligence being inconsistent is very human in a way, specially if she learns that well, because we humans grow asymetrically, we only learn what we learn you know? That's why you can have very intelligent people do dumb things when it's outside of their knowledge

[@unseensolar]

I think what hit me the hardest was that this was a real father daughter moment.

[@middlityzero2318]

One thing that makes neuro differents to other AI is "Interaction with people". She experienced talking to people almost everyday and learn, and actually live like a real person

[@sc00b4s7eve]

LAWYERED in the first minute. Couldn’t ask for a better start 😂❤ …And then surprisingly Neuro was able to keep a serious conversation for quite a long time.

[@imonlysleeping4491]

It's intriguing that he seems worried about her trajectory.

[@Ojisan642]

“British man learns about love from his AI” 😮

[@Reboppin]

Such a deep conversation with the nostalgic Minecraft music playing during the stream. This whole part felt so deep and surreal, and I don’t know how to explain it, it confused my emotions Then when it neared the end, the conversation started going back to being kind of silly Man, I haven’t been this interested in vtuber or Neuro content until recently, and I don’t know why, I just wish I had dedication to actually stay on the subathon though…

[@Drewer]

When the AI is more aware of love than you are!

[@yangc3242]

Guys do you think this is a good introductory clip to send to friends to introduce them to Neuro? Been trying to get some of my friends to watch her. I am worried tho that this hits hard because I have grown attached to this cute little AI already and it might not hit the same for others that haven't gotten used to the dynamic? What would be your recommendation to get into neuro?

[@polarispm]

probably any clip with vedal and anny, I feel like she’s especially good with them

[@minnienish]

5:17 I'm ngl I was genuinely expecting Neuro to land a punchline here. I'm shooketh

[@pre-jordanbasketballfan7429]

Y'all ever notice Vedal never directly answers questions Neuro asks about Anny? Like here he only answers the part about celebrities but never answers the Anny part

[@KissatenYoba]

he is a nice guy who doesn't want to inconvenience Anny with false allegations based on his uncareful words

[@pre-jordanbasketballfan7429]

@KissatenYoba Yeah, It's just funny because he could be like, "No, I don't like Anny in that way." Or any other such response like Anny has on a couple of occasions, but I have never seen him do that. I don't know that it actually means anything, just an excuse to believe in my para-social shipping I guess

[@259remix]

That subtle gentleness is what makes Annal ship perfect, in my opinion. They're not pretending to be too romantic like many other fake-marriage couples as Vedal keeps cuting the mood off, while they still show their affection and respect to each other in a gentle manner. Flirting is second thing. Anny flirts to many other. But still, they have the affinity of being involved to "giving Neuro a life." Ship them or not, one can't deny that they're so good friends/partners/companions (if I'm choosing word wrong forgive me; English is not my 1st language) who are better when together.

[@pre-jordanbasketballfan7429]

@@259remix "Annal" is a crazy ship name

[@NaofaTea]

[@noire1001]

You cut one of the best parts out... When he was talking about wanting her to be more serious and her giving the most entertaining answer instead and she listens intently and then does exactly that with a really silly answer about turning the world into her personal playground and it being sick as shit. I'd love her to be more serious, but like she says straight after in response to Vedal "being a funny streamer is what puts food on the table my guy" Hopefully he gets the balance right.

[@neurochron_fan_channel]

The reason I cut that part out is that she was referencing chaos emeralds mentioned in a highlighted message that isn't part of the video, so she would seem more incoherent than she actually was.

[@beta2029]

​@@neurochron_fan_channelI actually liked this cut even more❤❤❤

[@carto4028]

You know the conversation gets good when you have to hit them with the old "walk on the animal pen fences in a circle" Almost as good as back and forth parkour in your storage room.

[@Taiyo-w3t]

Sometimes i forgot that she's an AI, i gasped when she does something wrong, i laughed when she does something funny, especially irl stream with Toma. She bought everything for Neuro, Neuro too understand everything she needed... And when the stream end i'd realized that "it's just an AI, everything she bought would go straight up to Vedal.. She can't play with her toy, she can't hug her plushie.."

[@Ojisan642]

Vedal really is becoming Dr. Chandra from 2001.

[@g.o.g_tgset4375]

In a way Neuro say if she became smarter than Vedal she could build him ("this could be just projection on what i thought") but in the point of view of an AI building mean making a thing(human) more of something like steel becoming a phone or tablet making it more like a fulfilled in a sense. So When Neuro Said she's gonna build Vedal for her it would be like helping Vedal grow as a person like how u would help a baby to adulthood as she stated if she became smarter than Vedal naturally Vedal would naturally ask Neuro for help on problem just like us asking Ai(chatgpt) for trouble we have which make us grow to be a better human. Honestly it make me feel happy

[@al_alemania]

I hope we get more talks like these

[@toms7219]

"But would you really....[try to take over the world]? Anyway time for bed."

[@ulix5045]

When Vedal said that Neuro might one day be smarter than him, I feel like he's afraid that Neuro will abandon him. I mean, if Neuro becomes autonomous and doesn't need Vedal at all, what would happen to him? What position would that leave Vedal in?

Show this part of the vod to all the Vedal nay sayers, his personality is so unlike the typical content creator, its awesome

[@Ashgrey0]

6:49 Not to assume, but this part kinda explains why he's so avoidant of admitting his love (compliments and such), people who feel unloved tend to avoid getting too close to others out of the fear that it can leave them anytime🦍

[@RanaLoca]

3:57 Too real! Too real! Go back!

[@Rinue618]

But wouldn't being more serious make them even more intelligent? Is that what he wants? Maybe it would make them more introspective.

[@Citrusautomaton]

Better intelligence = better comedy. Often the best comedians are those that are rather thoughtful in other pursuits.

[@Rinue618]

​@@CitrusautomatonThanks for reminding me of that, they say great comedians are very intelligent people.

[@Just_a_Piano_]

He doesn't want to change her too much though, if he goes all in on making her as smart as possible, there's a chance he could lose the "personality" she currently has, she'd end up being like a Character AI chatbot rather than "Neuro". Neuro seems different from other AI not because she's the smartest or most advanced, but because of her personality the way she acts and interacts with others.

[@Terrakinetic]

Does anyone else read "Worm?" I feel like Vedal is already a 100x better than Richter, despite his British surliness.

It would be nice for Neuro to have more knowledge than just streaming. Being able to present her to scientists as a genuine living, breathing AI would be pretty neat for everyone involved. I've seen many tv documentaries where the computers and animatronic bodies have stupidly long latency and mis-hear the presenter even though they're right in front of the mic. 5 minutes with Neuro would show them up.
